This song was written around 1975. I played in a band made up of local musician friends called Axis or Parallax that was trying to explore all kinds of music. We had a female singer at the time so I decided to write a song she could sing. The original title of the song was called Egyptian Queen. It's about a mysterious lady of the night. I wanted to have a Middle Eastern/Indian vibe to it. It was supposed to be a sultry sexy song from a female perspective. The band at the time couldn't pull it off for various reasons namely instrumentation since it required exotic instruments and we had no way of obtaining them at the time. I always knew I would finish the song someday when I had the tools and I found the right singer. Well I got the tools and I knew the right singer. Jill Knight. I was hoping she would be available and wanted to do it. It wasn't really the style of music she does but I knew she would be great on it and she was. If you ever get a chance to see her with or with a band, do it. She is quite a talent.

ENCHANTING DREAM
When the sun sets into the night, I come out to play
I go dancing with those who have often wandered astray
I know of many men, near and far
From lonely thieves to the kings and the czars
I'll woo with the grace of my form longing to sway
I'll be your enchanting dream
And I'll charm you with my sultry seams
And dance thru the night like you've never seen
I'll be your.......enchanting dream
Since I have taught stars to talk, they whisper my name
Mystery is cast by their light, bringing me fame
There is as always men I can love
But I exist without thinking of
The one thing that flees from my heart....I'll wait for so long
I'll be your enchanting dream
And I'll charm you with my sultry seams
And dance thru the night like you've never seen
I'll be your.......enchanting dream
As the moon drifts on thru the night, the glamour pretends
The stroke of my hands thru your hair is mistaken for wind
I'll steal the secrets out of every man
With my style of movement and the coax of a hand
I'll smile with my eyes as you come.......
walking my way
I go dancing with those who have often wandered astray
I know of many men, near and far
From lonely thieves to the kings and the czars
I'll woo with the grace of my form longing to sway
I'll be your enchanting dream
And I'll charm you with my sultry seams
And dance thru the night like you've never seen
I'll be your.......enchanting dream
Since I have taught stars to talk, they whisper my name
Mystery is cast by their light, bringing me fame
There is as always men I can love
But I exist without thinking of
The one thing that flees from my heart....I'll wait for so long
I'll be your enchanting dream
And I'll charm you with my sultry seams
